O God, whose will is life and good
For of mortal breath;
Unite in bonds of servanthood
All those who strive to death.

Make strong their hands and hearts and wills
to drive disease afar
to strive against the body's ills
And wage your healing war.

By healing of the sick and blind,
Christ's mercy they proclaim,
Make known the great Physician's mind;
Affirm the Savior's name.

Before them set your gracious will,
That they, with heart and soul,
To you may consecrate their skil
And make the suff’rer whole.
